Highly recommend iphone SE 3rd gen, it's fast, compact size, 5G ready. I found one on CL for $150 (lucked out!), great shape, 100% battery health, and works like a charm! That find on Amazon for a refurb/renewed is a great price as well!

If we're talking frugal.... I got the late night deal at Yaohan food court (3 large tins $22 and 2 bowls of rice $4). Split that into 7 meals, I'm paying $3.71 per meal lol.

And if you're curious what I got, it was one container full of sweet and sour pork, another filled with soya sauce chicken, and the last filled with green beans/gai lan.

Breakfast? PBJ and black coffee at home

Afternoon snack? Oats with protein powder and strawberries or blueberries or apples (apple pie style).

Rough estimate I'm probably thriving on about $10 per day. Probably less.

Oh, and I'm walking/biking to work these days lol.

That’s cuz you’re spending all your money visiting your C Lover in coquitlam. Gas is expensive !!!

spoon.ek9 03-03-2025 04:42 PM

you are absolutely correct, all my savings are being offset in the opposite direction due to dating lol. eff.

For some reason, I think about the Performante V10 and 458 V8 sound more...

No you are not wrong.

Any Lambo V10 OR any flat crank V8 Ferrari destroys the 911 in sound... even the GT series... but then again.... those cars are might as well be the lotto.

Yes, I get it, I can probably put together enough money to park a Gallardo or F335 in my garage with some sacrafices, but I cant daily those cars, on the other hand... lets say something like a 991.1 Carrera S.... yea.... still dreaming lololol

OK, so what time do I need to show up at the Yohan food court to get this late night clear out deal?

Yeah a 355 would suck to daily, the servicing costs are astronomical.
Purchase cost wise, Gallardo 6MT ship probably sailed too

IMO at this point it's an R8 or manual swapped 360/430 ..
360 timing belts need changing ever 3 years, 430 is a chain.

My dream sled is a manual swapped 458. But it's like 450k for a good one, and then another 200k for a well done swap, and you are effectively taking a huge gamble on resale with a car like that. My take is more than likely you take a loss on resale once you manual swap, and most likely get put on Ferrari's naughty list (not that I care since I probably won't buy a new Ferrari)

westopher 03-03-2025 06:57 PM

It's 450k for a 458? Why?

dark0821 03-03-2025 07:06 PM

its the "last NA V8 mid engine Ferrari tax"

even the most abused beat up 458 are $250K...

I was telling my friend this as well, I get it.. it is the end all and be all whatever...

And if you are NOT gonna daily it, as in keeping the miles low... 458 will hold value and apprieciate over time (faster than inflation)

I know I am gonna get a lot of hate... but to daily... I will probably do the $250K 2yr old ROMA... still within the 7 year maintenance program... "more reliable"... well as reliable as an Italian car will get... have modern features... and I can put miles on it.... and it is basically the 488 with updated infotaiment and avoids the mid-engine Ferrari Tax... yea yea turbo I get it I get it....but hey still V8... Ferrari is going V6... that means you either splurge for the V12... or the brand is dead to me...

If I wanted a V6 Ferrari... I could have just saved for the Alfa Quadrofoliofahduiofaheucn however you spell it XD

About 7:30pm. Other stalls start clearing things out earlier too, perhaps around 7pm. Ironically, I learned about the deal through a local youtube video of white guys looking for good deals on food around the city.

Chances are, there's a similar thing going on at RPM but I haven't gone to check that out before. Similar foods.

whitev70r 03-03-2025 08:19 PM

^ and they drop the price the later it gets, they have these cardboard signs ready to switch out. But of course, you get less choice.

I’ve told you and everyone on here a million times. Get a fucking Maserati from the period when they were owned by Ferrari. Stop whining about your Ferrari horseshit and go drive a Maserati first. Either granturismo or qp5.

Both can be had for well under 60k and will give you very good performance and sound for 90% of your Ferrari needs at 10% of its price

EvoFire 03-03-2025 08:30 PM

But Maserati looks like shit, they still look like back in the day when they made cars for Chrysler. Funny how they are the same company now.

Buying a Maserati is like rubbing your cock on the pussy but never putting it in, you ain't getting the full experience

westopher 03-03-2025 08:32 PM

Fuck at 450k I'd buy a 964 a 348 and a panamera sport turismo and still maybe have money left over.
Can't a manual f430 be had for sub 200 and be pretty livable?

red kryptonite 03-03-2025 08:48 PM

i love how on the same page we have one guy talking about spending $10/day on food and another guy talking about buying $400k ferrari


TIL: bmw hud is full color and not just the 3 white/red/yellow

You think the qp5 and the granturismo looks like that Chrysler piece of shit up there ?!? Are you outta your fucking mind!?!!! You crazy dai pai dong chef bastard !!!!

They look wayyyy better than pretty much anything on the road today. Better than a f430 or a 360. It’s styled by pinninfarina!!! You gotta get your god damn eyes checked.

Go drive one. You’ll probably end up buying it.

whitev70r 03-04-2025 05:46 AM

Spending $10 a day on food is how one can afford a $400K Ferrari.

No I don't think either of them looks good. The QP5 looks like a dildo one wheels that's baring it's teeth at you

https://www.m3post.com/forums/attach...1&d=1351445060
So this with teeth.

Comparing them with the F430 is setting a pretty low bar. The 360 looks better than both.

westopher 03-04-2025 09:05 AM

Agreed on the top half, not the bottom. The 430 is so much better looking than the 360.

dark0821 03-04-2025 06:22 PM

Man... I am not gonna argue...

Pls someone just drop off a

Maserati Gran Turismo (did they make this in manual ever? I am too lazy to google)
Ferrari 360 Modena
Ferrari F430 Berlinetta

I am good with either lolol

Thanks bye =)

underscore 03-04-2025 06:38 PM

I like the F430 front bumper a bit better, but both the 430 and 360 are probably the last Ferraris that I think are actually pretty.
